Another day in the life..

Cam's days consist of sitting in a model unit of some condos, waiting for people to walk-in for information.  Regardless of how bored he gets, he never leaves to go get food.  Those of you who know cam understand, this isnt unusual... food is more of a necessity to him, and a bother.. unlike me, who can't wait until the next time i get to eat something.  So being a nice wifey, i bring him lunch whenever I can to make sure he eats. The other week my mom was there to document this moment:

The hand off:

Cam, really excited about his sandwhich:
apparently I got my dad's habit of stealing food, but i made the thing, so i think i should try it? :
a really lovely fire-place pose:

ski day with "the southerners"

what a pretty day... foot of new snow, sunshine and blue skies! this is what rocks about Utah.
because I was trying to keep this evil chair from crushing my unexpecting father, I couldn't get my camera out quick enough to get a shot of the full extent of this situation.  Picture him on his stomach, with the chair completely over his back and head!! "A perfect 10" we all applauded.  It was a 20 second process of dad being dragged by the lift until finally it dominated and the lifty FINALLY shut this rogue machine off.  With about 300 people watching, it was no minor incident.  As dad stood up, dusting himself off, he loudly explained, "I'm from New Orleans!! I'm just a southerner!"  
getting up and back on was not an easy task.
as always, couldn't get warm enough!

isn't she adorable?

Thriller! Thriller Nights... in St. George

momma jo was in st. george for the week, and one of the perks of being unemployed is.. being able to leave town whenever you want! (as long as it's cheap) so we took a weekend trip down south to visit grandma Ruthie and my mom.  I wish we didn't have to leave! I learned to make these hot pads! (pictured above) Grandma makes about 500 every christmas, so I figured I tried to tap into the McIntire talent of sewing.  as you can tell, I am a natural... :)

    Also,  we went and saw...........
THRILLER! friday night... always a spooky time :) Cam and I have seen it a hand-ful of times, but this was Jo Jo's first.  Cam and I would watch her during the parts we thought might startle her.. and she she stayed pretty composed! (although she said it got her heart racing a few times)


we had some fun with the living and dead this weekend.  and gained about 100 lbs. due to key lime, sour cream lemon, and chocolate pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner, oodles of homemade carmel corn, and mom's constant purse stash of peanut m&m's.  I LOVE OCTOBER!!!

winner winner chicken dinner

ya win some, ya lose some... and we WON some!! :) Thanks to APX Alarm's outrageous end of year party, cam walked... or rode... away from the party on a brand new full suspension Trek mountain bike! 50 people out of the 6,000+ got one and cam's little bum was lucky to find a new friend to sit on as he rides around in style.  I was 3 numbers off from getting one myself, but Cam def. is the one who deserves it more.  The bike he has been ridin' is too small for me, due to the fact he's had it since he was around 13.  His smile didn't fade all night.  and he made sure to say hi and bye to it whenever we've left it alone for a time.  We also walked away with some extra cash our office won during "Apx deal or no deal"... enough even that at dinner cam exclaimed..."let's celebrate and splurge!" so we split Chili's steak and chicken fajitas with a side half rack of ribs... :) HIGH ROLLAS!! almost too much celebration for us to handle.  almost.
